The Gods within Chakras


Chakras: In studying the ancient scriptures, the chakra system is defined very profound. However, to reach the highest form, proper devotion needs to be in place. Once the will is in the right place, the heavens open, and provide answers. Five Elements: There are 5 principal elements in the human body, associated with the chakras. Each chakra is dominated by a creation God or Goddess. 1st chakra is earth, Prithvi or the vast one. 2nd chakra is water, Varuna. 3rd chakra is fire, Mitra. 4th chakra is air, Vayu, heart and prana. 5th chakra is akasha or astral. 6th chakra is the mind, intuition and 3rd eye. 7th chakra is immortal access to God. Hymn to the Gods: Mitra huve putadaksam, varunam ca risadasam; dhiyam ghrtacim sadhanta. Rtena mitravarunav, rtavrdhav rtasprsa; kratum brhantam asathe. Kavi no mitravaruna, tuvijata uruksaya; daksam dadhate apasam. Translation: I invoke Mitra of purified strength and Varuna destroyer of our foes perfecting a bright understanding. By truth Mitra and Varuna, truth increasing, truth touching, enjoy a mighty work. For us Mitra and Varuna, seers, multiply born, wide housed, uphold the strength that does the work. The four goddess: The Goddess Dakshina, the manifestation of knowledge, identified with Usha, the divine Dawn, bringer of illumination. With the other three Goddess, Ila, Saraswati and Sarama, brings out truth consciousness. Ila represents truth vision, Saraswati truth audition, Sarama intuition and Dakshina truth intuitional discrimination. Hymn: Adha hyagne krator bhadrasya daksaya sadhoh, rathir rtasya brhato babhutha. Translation: Then indeed, O Agni, thou becomes the charioteer of the happy will, the perfecting discernment, the Truth that is the Vast. Notes: Vast, refers to Prithvi. Agni rules all the chakras, including Prithvi, Varuna, Mitra and Vayu. Indra is the illuminated mind. The 4 goddesses are the female faculty, as each chakra has a male and female counter part. There must be will and discernment, kratu and Daksa to reach the highest form of enlightenment.
